How to run apps in background

I wish to run an application in the background so that it does not show up in (and take up valuable space on) the dock. How do I do this? I've tried setting the "Hide" check box in the account preferences but the app still shows up in the dock.

what you can do is click the home key 2 and see if the app is open if not just open it and then lock the ipod

Running Apps in Background

Hey All,
Is it possible to install a app on IPhone and allow it to run in the background?

devacc,
The iPhone does not allow background applications for performance and usability reasons. Background apps affect performance, and managing priority and resources for background applications can be a UI nightmare. This is discussed during the WWDC Keynote in more detail.
However, in the near future applications developers will be able to use an application push service to allow notifications when the application is not running.
I would recommend watching the WWDC Keynote for more details.
Hope this helps,

Hi
It has been a while since you asked your question- I hope you still need the solution. Java typically does not support this because it is platform specific. I don't know what operating system you are working on. I assume Windows. There are numerous ways to do this in Windows. The easiest is to copy the program into the startup folder. The directory is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Another way, less visible to the user, is to make an entry in the registry. If you place the location of the program as data in a key in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current\Version\Run of the registry, it will start with the system. This is hard to do in Java (for obvious reasons) however it is not impossible. You can use JNI which is really difficult to learn and hard to implement or you can use
Process p=Runtime.getRunTime().exec({"reg.exe","add HKLM..."});This will execute the Windows utility reg.exe with the arguments provided by the second in the array of Strings. Documentation on reg.exe can be found through the command prompt. There are other ways such as modifying Autoexec.bat however they are less reliable
Hope I helped

How to run threads in background

hi everyone!
I need some hints on my problem!
I have an application with some working threads. When the user minimizes the app the app should go to the system tray and the threads should keep working.
I already know how to put an icon with popup menu in the systray. Now, how can I run the working threads in background?
Can anybody help me?
C u,
Filipe

I said that because as far I understood the following code it just creates an icon and popup menu, right?
So, when the user minimizes the app I need to kill it, create the icon and popup menu and leave the threads working.
public class SystemTrayDemo extends JFrame
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     public SystemTrayDemo()
          JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu("Menu");
          JMenuItem menuItem1 = new JMenuItem("Menu1");
          JMenuItem menuItem2 = new JMenuItem("Menu2");
          JMenuItem menuItem3 = new JMenuItem("Menu3");
          JMenuItem menuItem4 = new JMenuItem("Exit");
          menu.add(menuItem1);
          menu.add(menuItem2);
          menu.add(menuItem3);
          menu.add(menuItem4);
          menuItem4.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                    System.exit(0);
          ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("database.png");
          TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(icon, "Hello System Tray", menu);
          SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getDefaultSystemTray();
          tray.addTrayIcon(trayIcon);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try
               javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing. plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e);
          new SystemTrayDemo();
}}

How to run report in background, save output to word or excel

Hello all,
I have a huge report that needs to be run in background and I need the report in word. When running in Dialog it takes too long and SAP times out. How do you get something to run in background and have the output in excel. I know you can go into SM37, find the spool and then forward the spool request to a local file, is there an easier way to do it? Maybe setting up some kind of to text printer since the background job always asks for the output printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Sergiy

How to run form in Background

Hi Experts,
I have created a form and its print program for purchase order. they are assigned to T-code: ME22N through NACE.
Now i need to run ME22N in both foreground and background.
If we execute in foreground, it should display the printpreview. for that in ME22N, we have a button for print preview.
If we execute it in background, it should generate a spool, with out any printpreview. How can we do this....?
Please some one help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

In the IMG (SPRO) under materials management -> purchase orders -> messages - > output control -> message types -> define message types
Set up one message type for print preview. Set up a different message type for no print preview under fine tuned control.

How to run InDesign in background?

I mean to make InDesign application invisible while processing my script?

Which might be a reason to find a different method than indesign.
This kind of Policy produces 2 things:
First: They push Mediumsized companys to work illigal or not with indesign at all if they have some special needs which will be only legal by an indesign server.
Second: They prohibit some external Developments or releases because it would be illigal tu use it.
Theres no way to start indesign in Background with its own api (this is not 100% for shure but 95% :-)
It might be Possible but not by VBA or Java, there are some workarounds with VB and c++ but this is a complete different animal.
However maybe it would be legal using somekind of passive server. Means a timejob on one Computer working a set of data in some directory or Database down. It would not be a real server since the jobs starting itself on the Workstation and not by command from another application.
Or Make a script which runs in a loop with a time break. In case 1 you have to make your own Atomic.
But im really not shure how legal that would be. Anyway how legal the split client and Server in the policies by adobe is another animal too.
Its hard to determine whats a server whats not in many cases.
lets say you send the data directly to an automated workstation to work on it - is it an Server?
if the workstation needs a pressing button thing is it or not? In that case you can use a macro keyboard to do this - is it then a server ?
again i dont not understand this policies since you cannot start a multhithread on indesing workstation anyway it would be unuseable for real server applications. you cannot make a hing like a webservice because its simply to slow and unstable.
didnt solve our problems but to be honest, im shure bevore a customer with lets say 8 or 9 employes buys a server for 30k he will work illigal (so are back to my beginning post)
The Question is if indesign is really needed. today i see many prints going out by pdf... so there could be easier ways
take a look on some report generators like crystal reports. for many needs absoloutly enough

How to run oli7bw in background??

Hi all
I would like to run the oli7bw transaction in background .
how to do it?
thanks in advance,
Jayashree

Hi,
Put the selections in, enter a name for the run, enter a setup date and time for the future. Click on menu option Program --> execute in background. It will popup print parameter select the ok button> it will give another pop-up for start time. You can select immediate and the job will be scheduled immediately in the background, or you can select Date/time and give a date & time it should start.
Cheers..
PS: I hope you are in the testing phase and not doing it in the live environment.

How To Run Process In Background?

Hi,
I'm writing a CORBA Server, and basically, I need to spawn a process in the background. The process is:
tnameserv -ORBInitialPort 1250
I am new to Java, and am not sure how to go about doing this. Any sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You could use a TimerTask - a user friendly way of spawning a Thread.
For example, the class from which you want to spawn a Thread could have the following lines: -
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(), 6000, 3000);
...where MyTimerTask is a class you write yourself. It must extend java.util.TimerTask and define a method with the following signature: -
public void run()
The run method should execute the task that you need performing in the separate Thread.
In this example, your main class would call the run() method of MyTimerTask after a delay of 10 minutes (6000 miliis) and would then continue to call it every 5 minutes.
Hope this helps!

If i taken tablespace and oracle home backup from production... I dont have any changes on application side.. So let me dont wanna to take apps backup... After clone dbTier how i wanna start apps with out clone i.e without running appsTier ... Which command i wanna use for that...You need to take clone of your db also. If the scenerio is if you create same mount points on target system wiht same IP than you dont need to take clone on apps tier and db tier
Other way you probably get error message
By the way the other question is why you dont want to use clone future which is very easy

How to run RPUBEN62 in background

We designed our savings plan as an automatic plan and the business process is to have HR run HRBEN0012 to enroll hires every Monday morning. However, our HR do not want to run this manual process.
We tried to put RPUBEN62 on background job, but failed because it performs the 'Call screen 2000.' command in the END-OFSELECTION event in include BEN62E01, and this command causes the program to stop processing and the SAP GUI window is closed.
We contacted SAP support and was told that RPUBEN62 is designed to run foreground, and we just started contacting SAP to see whether we can convince them to offer background run option.
Any suggestion? We do not want to clone the program if possible.
Thanks.

Sorry was searching for something else and seen this post, kinda old.
We created a custom copy of RPUBEN62, and run on a daily basis in the background. It is possible and saves some work for HR by automatically creating the standard plans for all new employees.
